Auditing a single Windows PC

Assuming you have an XAMPPLite install of Open-AudIT on a Microsoft Windows machine.

Copy the file c:\xampplite\open-audit\other\audit_windows.vbs to a suitable location. Do not remove this file from it's original location as it is needed by the web interface.

Open your copy of audit_windows.vbs in a text editor. Check the following variables are set as below:

• submit_online = "y"
• create_file = "n"
• url = "http://YOUR_SERVER/index.php/system"
• debugging = "3"

Open a command prompt and run the script with cscript audit_windows.vbs. Do not double click the script to run it as this will use wscript instead of cscript and spawn many popup windows.

It should run and post the result to the database. Go back to your web browser and load Open-AudIT. You should have a group or two created. Go into one of them and click the machine name. You should see the machine details.

To prevent any output to the command window you can set debugging = "0" and run the script with cscript //nologo audit_windows.vbs .
